11.2 Definitions.

(a) Interested Person. Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with Board-delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person.

(2) a compensation arrangement with the Association or with any entity or individual with which the Association has a transaction or arrangement, or

(3) a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Association is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are substantial in nature. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. A person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the appropriate Board or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists.

11.3 Procedures.

(a) Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with Board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.

After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the Board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.

(c) Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest.

(1) An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or committee meeting, but after such presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest.

(2) The Board or committee shall determine by a simple majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Association’s best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Association and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.

(d) Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy.

(1) If the Board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.

(2) If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the Board or committee determines that the member has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

Article Twelve: General Provisions

12.1 Property of the Association. The title to all property of the Association, both real and personal, shall be vested in the Association.

12.4 Indemnification.

(a) When Indemnification is Required, Permitted and Prohibited. Unless expressly provided otherwise in the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, the Association shall indemnify and hold harmless the directors, officers, committee members and employees (if any) of the Association against any and all expenses, losses, and liabilities arising out of such individual’s administrative functions or fiduciary responsibilities, including any expenses, losses and liabilities that are caused by or result from an act or omission constituting the negligence of such individual in the performance of such functions or responsibilities to the fullest extent authorized by Texas law; provided that such individual performed such functions or responsibilities in good faith; provided further that the Association shall not indemnify for any expenses, losses and liabilities that are caused by or result from such individual’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Expenses against which such individual shall be indemnified hereunder shall include, without limitation, the amounts of any settlement or judgment, costs, counsel fees, and related charges reasonably incurred in connection with a claim asserted or a proceeding brought or settlement thereof.

(b) Procedures Relating to Indemnification Payments. Before the Association may pay any indemnification expenses, either the Board, by simple majority vote of members of the Board not seeking indemnity, or special legal counsel selected by the Board (by simple majority vote of members of the Board not seeking indemnity), shall determine that indemnification is permissible, authorize indemnification, and determine that expenses to be reimbursed are reasonable.
